Canned as Oktoberfest. Toasty, semi-sweet, really can taste the Munich malt in particular, almost vinous as I sometimes think it is (in a dark grape juice kind of way). This might be slightly underhopped, or rather I've drinking too much of that Sierra Nevada ofest. But it's just a little too sweet for me. Amber-orange color.

Can at home. Not sure if this is known by that original name anymore just Oktoberfest I would think. Pours darker copper than most fests. Nose is toast and caramel. Tastes of earthy malt, brown sugar, caramel, fairy fruity. Medium bodied slightbsweet.

12 oz can. Beautiful clear copper pour with a beige head and good retention. Good lacing. Nice caramel malt flavor interrupted by a hoppy finish. Too much hops; It reduces the Oktoberfest flavor. Remove the hops and it's an excellent Marzen. Revisited 9/14/18: 16 oz. can. Pours a beautiful clear dark bronze color with a beige head and good retention. Fair lacing. Fine carbonation. Malty lager aroma. Good sweet caramel malt flavor. Clean and smooth and flavorful. 6.4 ABV is well hidden. The hops flavor is gone! More please. Prost!
